Don't know the one from Lawrence but I bought this USB SPDIF converter for about 16€ on ebay:
USB 5.1 Ch optical Controller Audio Sound Card S\PDIF en vente sur eBay.fr (fin le 14-Fév-08 02:38:14 Paris)

It's based on the CM106 chip from c-media.
Even the headphone output is not bad...

I connected it with the optical cable provided with the Zero. It works without drivers with XP but if you install those provided, you can then use the KS plugin for foobar and choose the sampling output (44,1 or 48khz).
Works like my motherboard coaxial output.

PS: BTW you can see on the photo the difference with 4,7 kohm resistors for the leds. I removed my sunglasses ...
